Mata started for only the second time this season at Everton, but was unable to prevent his side slumping to their first league defeat since Mourinho returned to the club.

El Mundo Deportivo says Juventus and Napoli are looking to tempt Mata to Italy once the transfer window reopens in January.

A transfer to Napoli would see the midfielder team up again with fellow Spaniard Rafa Benitez, who was Chelsea's interim manager for the final six months of last season leading the club to Europa League success as well as a third place finish.
